JOHN CRONIN Manitowoc Tribune, Vol. 18 No. 44, February 15, 1872, Page 4 Column 6 It becomes our painful duty to record the death of one of our best citizens in the prime of life and in the midst of great usefulness. John Cronin died at his residence in Maple Grove, last Friday, Feb. 9th, at the age of 27 years, of consumption, leaving behind his mourning parents loving, now disconsolate, young wife and two small children. John, whom we have known and respected from his boyhood up, learned the printer's trade in he[sic] Pilot office, then was employed for a long time in the Paper Warehouse of Hon. J.A. Noonan, in Milwaukee, and returned about four years ago to this county, where he started a country store in Maple Grove, and had soon established a thriving and profitable business; he was appointed Post Master at Maple Grove and honored with all the public offices he was willing to accept. But that insidious destroyer soon made itself felt by its victim, who, bravely bore and finally resignedly yielded to its deadly influence.

DANIEL WELCH 16 Months Old Child Killed Near Grimms Daniel Welch Is Fatally Hurt When Run Over By Milk Truck Daniel Welch, 16 month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Welch, was killed instantly at 9:45 am today at the home of his parents, on half mile south of Grimms, when he was run over by a milk truck driven by Norman Reach, 18, of Reedsville. The child apparently wandered in front of the truck while it was loading milk alongside the barn and was run over by the right front wheel when the truck started to leave. The child's body was found by the father, who was working on a tractor nearby, after the truck was out of the yard. Driver Unaware Of Mishap Reach did not know that the truck he was driving had killed the child until he was contacted by the authorities at the White House Milk plant in this city shortly after 10:15 am. Dr. Theodore Teligen, county coroner, said the child's head and body were crushed by the right front wheel of the truck. He said early this afternoon that he had not yet conferred with District Attorney John Danielson but he added that he thought there would not be an inquest. The body was taken to the Watt funeral home in Maple Grove where it may be viewed tonight and funeral services will be held at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Maple Grove on Thursday at 9 am. Interment will be in the church cemetery. Reach told Sheriff Elmer Bergner that he stopped at the Welch home with the milk truck owned by Mrs. Henry Sheahan, Maple Grove, backed the truck up to the barn, which is about 50 feet from the house and talked to the father of the child for a few minutes. He then loaded four cans of milk on the truck from the left, jumped into the cab and drove away. Blood On Wheel The right front wheel of the truck was found to have blood on it and there was a little on the right rear wheel, but authorities believed that only the front wheel passed over the child. "I never saw the child while I was at the Welch home this morning," Reach told the sheriff, "I had seen him on one or two other occasions when he was with his mother." The Welch home is about a half mile south of the old quarry at Grimms. The house and the barn are about the same distance from the road and the barn is about 50 feet north of the house. Sheriff Elmer Bergner said. The truck backed up a slight incline to the barn. The father was working on a tractor some distance behind the truck. Sheriff Bergner and County Traffic Officer Henry Pleuss rushed to the scene of the mishap as soon as they were informed of it and found Coroner Theodore Teitgen already there. Daniel was the only child of the Welches. Manitowoc Herald-Times; Wednesday 2 Sept 1942; p. 2, c. 1 (Sent in by a researcher/See contributors pg.)

Crossed Lanes According to authorities, Welch had delivered a load of feed for livestock in a nearby field and was returning to the home farm when the accident occurred.

THOMAS S. WELCH Thomas S. Welch Sr. Dies in Fire Pioneer Farm Owner Victim Of Barn Fire Huge Barn Destroyed On His Farm Near Grimms; His Body Is Recovered Thomas S. Welch, Sr., 78, prominent Cato farmer, was burned to death last night when overcome by smoke and flames which destroyed the huge barn on his farm one half mile south of Grimms. All of the livestock which Welch attempted to liberate from the burning building were destroyed. Welch's charred body was found at 6 am today by searchers after the ruins had cooled sufficiently to allow them to penetrate the barn basement. The fire swept throught the big barn on the Welch farm, razing it to the ground and destroying all the livestock, farm machinery, feed and grain with a loss of from $18,000 to $20,000 partly covered by insurance. Fire departments from Reedsville and Whitelaw worked most of the night in preventing the fire from spreading to other buildings and the residence on the farm. Was Overcome Origin of the fire was not determined. Members of the Welch household looked out of the residence windows at 9 pm to see smoke and flames leaving from the barn. Welch and his hired man, John Peppard, hastened out in an effort to liberate the cattle and horses. While Peppard entered one part of the barn, Welch pushed his way through the smoke at another entrance to reach the stanchions where the 17 head of cattle were tied. He did succeed in releasing two or three animals before he was overcome and sank to the floor. In a few moments Peppard missed Welch and retraced his steps to try and rescue him. But by that time the flames had gained such headway that he was unable to enter the part of the barn where Mr. Welch had pushed his way in in his effort to free the bellowing cattle. Called Trucks Telephone messages by this time summoned the fire trucks from Reedsville and Whitelaw, and scores of farmers battles through bad roads and downpour of rain to reach the Welch farm and assist in confining the fire to the big barn. Nothing was saved from the barn. The loss included 17 head of cattle, five horses, all the farm machinery and quantities of hay, straw and grain. The barn was modern in construction. Sheriff Herman Schuette was summoned to the fire at an early hour this morning when search failed to locate the body of Mr. Welch. He reached the scene just after searchers located the body in front of the cow stanchions. There will be no inquest. Was Pioneer Thomas Welch Sr., was one of the pioneer farmers of the town of Cato. He lived on the homestead farm near Grimms nearly all of his life. He is survived by his widow who was Nora Buckley and three children Julia, Ed and Helen, all on the homestead farm. There is also one brother Ed of Grimms, two sisters Mrs. Mary Cummings of Grimms and Mrs. Bridget O'Brien of this city and four step-children, Lawrence, Walter, Eugene and Joseph Fitzmaurice.
